PlanetSide chronicles the efforts of three factions as they fight for territorial control over ten different worlds. Players take on the role of individual soldiers fighting for one of the three factions within the game, and can specialize in various fields such as combat vehicle crewman, infantry, invisible infiltrator or a variety of combat support roles such as combat medic or combat engineer. The game is played primarily in a first person perspective, with the option of third-person (though without crosshairs). Unlike most shooting games, in which small-scale matches take place in essentially an instanced map, PlanetSide battles can involve hundreds of players in a single fight. Unlike most MMOs, in which the player interacts with static NPCs and rarely (if ever) has a chance to alter the gameworld, PlanetSide battles concern aspects of territory control and domination, and can cause repercussions to all three factions

From March 24, 2006 to March 24, 2007 SOE launched the PlanetSide Reserves program. The program allowed anyone to download the game and play for free. All characters in the Reserves were limited to Battle Rank 6 and Command Rank 2, as well as other restrictions. Players were able to convert to a paying account at any time. As of 2007 the game developers are discussing whether or not to bring back the PlanetSide Reserves program to renew interest in their game.
